Chapter 315: Mother-in-law, please enter the furnace

Hongxue, your father and them still haven't returned—could it be?

The thunder ended, yet no one returned—could something have happened?

Jiang Luolan was very worried; she didn't want to hear bad news, nor see her husband struck dead by lightning.

Her heart was anxious, she paced back and forth; from the moment the thunder sounded she was like this—Shang Hongxue said anything but she couldn't take it in. Shang Hongxue looked at her mother, not knowing what to say for a moment, so she followed her mother pacing back and forth. After several rounds, seeing her mother's face less anxious, she finally spoke.

Mother, you don't need to worry about Father—Chuyang Brother is strong; with him watching, Father won't come to harm.

You don't believe Father—then don't you believe Chuyang Brother?

Let me tell you, Mother, Chuyang Brother is truly formidable; a mere lightning tribulation is nothing to him.

In Shang Hongxue's heart, no one is more formidable than Chuyang Brother, and nothing can stump him; a mere lightning tribulation—he has weathered it several times, already intimately familiar. Others return safely, so her father will surely be fine.

As for Chen Chuyang, Shang Hongxue is completely at ease—she has never worried.

Jiang Luolan is different; she worries greatly about her husband. Though the son-in-law is said to be strong, she has never seen him, only heard rumors—which are ultimately illusory. Not seeing her husband return safely, she cannot be at ease.

Her husband is everything to her, the main pillar of the Shang Clan—nothing must happen to him.

She constantly looked outside for her husband's silhouette; Jiang Luolan let her daughter's words go in one ear and out the other, not hearing a word.

Seeing this, Shang Hongxue could only give up, stopping her speech and following her mother as they walked.

After walking for half an hour, Shang Hongxue's face broke into a smile—she saw Chuyang Brother's silhouette, that aura was too familiar.

It was Chuyang Brother's aura—no mistake; her nose would never fail her.

Mother, Chuyang Brother and them have returned—Father is unharmed.

Hearing this, Jiang Luolan looked around, but saw neither her husband nor son-in-law return, and couldn't help but wonder.

Shang Hongxue raised her hand, pointing in a direction.

Jiang Luolan looked that way—there was nothing.

Mother, don't be anxious—wait a little longer.

After a few breaths, Jiang Luolan saw two familiar figures appear before her.

Joy spread across her face; she couldn't help but rush forward, just as Shang Hongxue had looked when worried.

On the contrary, Shang Hongxue, this little girl, remained completely calm, showing no sign of anxiety.

Chen Chuyang returned, seeing his mother-in-law's anxious movements—no wonder he is Shang Hongxue's mother's son; like mother, like daughter.

Mother and daughter confirmed.

Their actions and worries were identical—even their running motions were exactly the same.

It's a direct lineage—impossible to fake.

Father-in-law and mother-in-law met, but unlike Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue, they embraced face to face.

They were rather reserved, mindful of nearby people, and paid a little attention.

They couldn't act as uninhibitedly as Chen Chuyang and Shang Hongxue; Chen Chuyang didn't care, he hugged Shang Hongxue and spun, after three turns he finally set her down.

After Shang Hongxue landed, she saw her parents gazing at her, her cheeks quickly flushing.

Shy as she was, she ultimately couldn't withstand her parents' gaze and turned away.

Chen Chuyang had no such issue; facing his parents-in-law, he even waved and greeted them.

Shang Yingnian watched, unable to keep his mouth from twitching—this son-in-law truly doesn't treat him as an outsider; they're still here, and he embraces his daughter right in front of them, showing no regard for his father-in-law.

Shang Yingnian felt anguish inside, as if his family's cabbage had been dug up by a pig—so painful, so painful.

Jiang Luolan watched on, secretly smiling.

The son-in-law and daughter have a wonderful relationship, very affectionate, and have not caused any problems from living together.

The situation she worried about did not occur; her heart settled considerably.

With her right hand she pulled at her husband's sleeve, preventing his hot temper from spoiling the mood.

Shang Yingnian had no intention to make a move or go over; after his advancement, he hadn't yet had a chance to experience it, nor to stabilize his cultivation. Returning to Longshe Shan, rich spiritual energy continually entered his body, nourishing his flesh.

The body damaged by lightning is rapidly repairing.

After giving a few brief instructions, Shang Yingnian sat down wherever and began cultivating.

He devoured heaven and earth's spiritual energy to nourish his body, the shattered flesh mending bit by bit.

That blood and qi began to coalesce, shaking Longshe.

The Dragon Blood Pill's effect lingers, and it is very powerful.

Chen Chuyang glanced—his father-in-law managing to hold on this long is no small feat; better to stabilize his cultivation sooner and put his mind at ease.

Forming the elixir—body cultivators' elixir formation differs; their physiques differ, seemingly lacking an inner elixir, having broken through the realm while losing the inner elixir in the dantian—a state most profound and strange.

This gave Chen Chuyang many insights and some priceless experiences; in his eyes, his father-in-law at this moment is a work of art worth deep study, his eyes fixed on Shang Yingnian, observing his breathing pattern, how he cultivates, how… refines spiritual energy.

Unlike the cultivation methods in the sealed world, they are actually somewhat similar to his cultivation method.

Chen Chuyang's cultivation technique also differs from those of this world, not following the mainstream.

Quite special.

Nowadays, it's not just him who is special—his father-in-law is as well.

One day later.

Chen Chuyang understood his father-in-law's cultivation method, and smiled: 'So that's it—this is what a body cultivator is?'

'Indeed most profound, walking the extreme path of the flesh; I don't know what realm his father-in-law can reach.'

Its advantages, Chen Chuyang naturally ought to study well, applying his father-in-law's cultivation method to himself.

The Hunyuan Dao Scripture attempted cultivation; the body-refining method seemed somewhat different, inferior to his Hunyuan Dao Scripture. After absorbing its merits, the Hunyuan Dao Scripture underwent a slight change, no longer the original.

Repeatedly merging and changing, in tandem with Chen Chuyang's tossing about.

While researching the Cultivation body, Chen Chuyang altered the Hunyuan Dao Scripture once—this time, the second alteration.

Circulating the technique, cultivation speed increased.

Meanwhile, his body tempering took another step up.

After completing a full circulation of the heavenly circuit, Chen Chuyang felt a change in his body.

This change was profoundly subtle, as if his body had risen a little again—the increase was tiny, barely perceptible, yet its stability was its strength.

Steady improvement allows continuous progress; as training time accumulates, he will eventually break through.

"Not a bad way to temper the body—my father-in-law has brought me a different kind of surprise."

"Next, it's your turn, my mother-in-law."

Chen Chuyang's gaze fell on his mother-in-law, Jiang Luolan; he gave her no chance to react, shoved her, and she entered the Alchemy Furnace.

Shang Hongxue blinked, watching Chen Chuyang's actions, which were far gentler than her father's.

Such treatment, this difference—anyone with eyes could see it.
